In an earlier life I would have been happy folding paper around pieces of butter.

I am in the web development cluster on the far side of German-speaking progressive intellectuals. Pretty accurate, I would say😅.

Remember how much we all loved Trello back when it was cool (and not owned by Atlassian)? What's the 2026 Trello?

Guile... Guinan... Guilenan

Me, this morning: Making great progress here, maybe I'll have something live soon! Me, this afternoon: Hrm, ORMs are slow, right? What if I used raw SQL, or a builder? Me, this evening: So I just have to rewrite all my queries, make them objects, JSON encode and write a custom response. No sweat!

Slightly spammy business accounts multiplying. I like it.

“Researching” Apple M1 Ultra vs M4 Pro embedding performance. Seems like I will have to benchmark myself. Basically, M1 has more lanes, M4 has faster engines. This is escalating quickly.

autoencoders that can do roundtrips are even more intriguing to me somehow, like you can go from text -> coordinates -> text then do things like interpolate the coordinates see eg www.alignmentforum.org/posts/PjEtMQ...

It amazes me, that there is a function you can put a text into and get a set of coordinates back, that somehow capture meaning. Crazy stuff. (I would like to be notified when there is a successor to EmbeddigGemma, please.)

Another experiment: I tagged #podcast related accounts and this feed should show you one post per account that is somewhat related to you. Still tweaking it. Results should get better over time, as I am still fighting with another major issue, but it is not unusable now😅. bsky.app/profile/did:...

We’re doing an Agentic Coding conference in Hamburg on March 22nd! 🎉 Not many details yet, but super early bird tickets are on sale and selling fast. Super excited about this one! #hamburg luma.com/45lfeyeh

How do I get my hands on some of that sweet European funding?

I’m blown away by yesterday evening! We had the biggest venue ever for our Agentic Coding Meetup Hamburg and it was packed with curious and knowledgeable people! We had 3 insightful talks and a lot of small demos in the newly introduced OpenMic section! Thanks to everybody for contributing!

Yesterday I was spontaneously presenting for 5 minutes at a dev meetup in front of 160 people, using most of the time to advertise Bluesky (and train for Vancouver conference). Afterwards 4 people came to me, one of which confused me with another presenter. Only one had an outdated Bluesky account.

BTW, @skorfmann.com, did Agentic Coding (Meetup?!) Hamburg drop the “Meetup”? So is it #achh now?! #acmhh

Hallelujah, it’s a miracle! #acmhh So I might be playing Schrödinger’s attendee or sth..

I still need a cofounder btw.. (Platonic) social discovery for (of course) a better world.

Bummer. Can‘t attend #acmhh for the first time tomorrow due to influenza. It will be a great event without me, this time focusing on Claude Code exclusively. luma.com/4c9hr63k #Hamburg

Often times when I finally make myself add that dreaded mute word, the hype has already peaked. There is always hope.

I can relate.

I am just triggered by different stuff.

Right now I am in the “using LLMs to build classic style software” but starting to think about whether there is/will be sth like “LLM-style” software.

I knew I would not like Pluribus, and as it turns out, I was right. Feel free to unfollow. (I do however absolutely like The Beatles.)

First 1000€ foot gun😬. Apparently I embedded quite suboptimally. Since I did not know what to expect, I thought @divepool.social profiling results are reasonable, but I should be able to improve substantially by optimizing for clustering, which does mean, I have to reembed ALL posts. Like a billion.

So should I. Proud of everyone who does. Somehow I still hope Twitter will be integrated into Bluesky someday.

Posting a few more #Lego #BattleTech 'Mechs tonight, starting with the Viper/Dragonfly. I always thought the high-mobility medium scout was interesting, and this is a weird-looking little dude. Clan Ghost Bear Theta Galaxy colors on this one.

The townsfolk tried to explain to Giacomo, that "photo bombing" is just not as effective with paintings! #AFOL #LEGO #MEDIEVAL #courtjester

Mini in-house Blizzard (open window), still never happened before.

I quite like people sharing their sleeping patterns, especially when they look like mine. Makes me feel healthy and normal.

Correction: this chart really shows, that when the Brazilians joined, error percentage went up, since they were probably switching between Portuguese and English a lot. If on the other hand the US elections had only impacted the US, the error rate should have fallen. It did not. Makes sense now?! 😅

Somewhat related: with English speaker influx, language detection mismatches drop, with non English, they do not, probably since they contain more language switchers. ~3% error rate overall. Detection via lingua-go. Cobbled together with incomplete data, so would appreciate confirmation by others.

Back at after the holidays. Nothing has changed, yet somehow everything has. Oh and what was super-ultra prioritized before the end of the year? Surprise, it’s not that urgent.

We haven’t had this much snow in #Hamburg for a decade. Really cool! #FetteFlocken

#acmhh 😏

I use Gemini CLI to repair broken Claude Code installs.

So addictive.

If I was Google, I would not oppose the “search is dead” story. The real monopoly case might well be LLM search integration.

serious question: is anyone hiring? open to connecting. 10+ years of full stack experience plus 1 year of unhinged ai/atproto hacking

Fine tuned discovery feed to show more interesting posts. Also improved crawling. (“Some” accounts were needlessly skipped.) bsky.app/profile/did:...

There is still no way to stream The Lowdown by Sterlin Harjo (with Ethan Hawke) in Germany. Is it any good?

techno or whatever, I don't care, Toxido Mask at #HoerBerlin is awesome www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX43...
